In the last few weeks, municipalities have chosen to cancel Canada Day celebrations, a combination of being "politically correct" as they see it, and pressure from the "cancel club". The demand also comes from many First Nations groups, but not all of them are united.
CBC runs a variety of adds, but one in particular caught my attention. The add is about the tragedy of the bodies of children being found and how Truth and Reconciliation is important. This is true and I am in agreement with it. What caught by attention though was the comment made on the add. It was stated that "we can not forget the history so this tragic event does not happen again." It is important that we do not forget this dark part of Canadian history, as we explore the positive parts of Canadian history.
Apply that understanding and comment from this CBC add. The next question then is, "Why are we so quick to take down statues in an attempt to hide, bury, and forget history?" Think about it. As everyone of the progressive liberals, the Marxist-Leninist gang, the BLM group, and now Indigenous Activists are so gung hoe at hiding history by removal of statues, burning down churches, changing names of buildings and so on, what then brings about "remembering" when everything is taken down, changed, or destroyed?
Now that Canada is being postponed by some municipalities, the people, the grass roots, everyday common ordinary people appear to be saying enough. The people have taken upon themselves to ignore governments and are having their own Canada Day celebrations. It is ironic that as municipalities line up to cancel Canada Day celebrations, they haven't ordered people to go to work on July 1st. It is still a statutory holiday that celebrates the creation of Canada.
The people are now taking action to celebrate. The governments are no longer trusted, nor are they listened to. Perhaps in Canada we can actually see the "power of the people" in their own Canadian way.
